In this podcast we will try to provide tips, tools and best practices from our experience as well as from the experience of other prominent leaders in the Israeli work space. I believe there are many tales about managers and management. Without going into too much details, we believe that management is a skill you need to grow slowly and gradually (the same way as you grow your technology skills for example). It is a long way to go... A well skilled manager works hard every day to "clean" the way for his team members in order to allow THEM to do what they know best (like delivering software for example).

My hope that this podcast will help everybody, who wants to learn and to grow these skills.My personal believe is that this podcast isn't only for managers.Since one of the keys of good management is creating a highly gelled and efficient environment - I hope that others will contribute (and listen) as well.

I will be happy to hear you feedbacks (or questions or management dilemmas).

During the last years I've been asked several times on the topics of the talk. Since the session is usually about an hour and so, needless to say that I am only scratching the surface. There is definitely more into that. I only provoke initial thoughts on our profession both from a personal and a team view perspectives.

I will be more than pleaced if you continue to be in touch, reaching for questions, suggestions or taking more personal involvement in the Software Craftsmanship community (here and here)

In addition, in the following days I will announce a new podcast that I intend to record.
This podcast will be connected to some topics I am mentioning in the talk, but obviously will deal with more broader issues and more deeply.

Here is (and also below) a short lecture (In Hebrew) I gave during the Agile Practitioners 2012 conference.
The lecture summarizes the lessons we learned at PicScout (also here) while introducing more and more automation to our QA team.
